Yeah mate good potential eh. Hopefully he gets thru a couple more years, probably not though, the area gets a lot of pressure in the roar and all year round by waro. He was very unsure what we were, and stood around for 5-ish minutes.
The other stag was older and wiser and as soon as he saw us he hit the afterburners for the bush line. He was much better but still needed a couple of years.
Cheers Craig. Yeah Pip does a bit too, she mainly shakes with anticipation and gets nervy if we lift the rifle, more so if we shoot something and she's keen to get to it.
That stemmed from duck shooting and her anticipation of us shooting a duck and her retrieving it. I should have stamped the excitement out way back then, but I was so pumped about her keenness to work the pond.
For a hunting companion she's hard to beat though, and even if she p*sses me off you can't stay mad at them long! Haha. She indicated all the deer we saw were there well before we had spotted them, so was pleased about that.
